Okay Generation Y member, when you take 82 from 162 you get 80, NOT 81! I know you kids are stupid, you can't do basic Math, but when the Pirates lost their 82 game, which I had live on WGN, I updated it, but you're so stupid you can't even do basic Math to know that 162 minus 82 is 80!

On the other hand, I'd think you'd know my work better than to presume that I only went in there only to do something unnecessary. My edit summary was "fix links", which is exactly what I did. Reverting a change (especially one made by an established editor) without checking for useful additions goes against WP:AGF. I may have been overzealous and "fixed" a few too many links, but at the very least, even without the Giants fix, the Athletics link that I fixed was pointing to the wrong team. Perhaps if I didn't have this headache, I wouldn't have engaged in that bit of tit-for-tat, but there it is. - Dewelar ( talk) 02:11, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
OK, now I have to ask: why did you change some of the links I just fixed? Is there a difference between using one redirect vs. a different redirect? - Dewelar ( talk) 22:40, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Very interesting. Digging a bit, it seems that at some point (at least as recently as 2006), the MoS said that direct links were preferred. I wonder when that changed, and why. - Dewelar ( talk) 19:50, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Wow read the first few lines of that talk page, and some really interesting stuff. Well, congratulations to you I guess on being successful in your crusade to limit information...in an encyclopedia. It seems you've been quite busy in removing the table from every manager's page. Great work on your part. Way to really cut down on that information, because, of course, you don't want too much information in an encyclopedia. It still does not, however, change the fact that many former managers have this table in their wiki pages. It also does not change the fact that now virtually all college coaches, and coaches in the three other major sports have this table on their pages as well. Therefore, I must also congratulate you on limiting the conhesiveness and unformity of wikipedia pages. More superior work on your part.
Also, your argument that, "Charlie Manuel was also a player, not just a manager. It's the same concept" makes no sense. So, because he was a player he shouldn't have a career managerial record box? And a manager that didn't play in the major leagues should? Additionally, the argument that this information can be accessed through external links could be applied to everything on this website...that's where all the information here comes from. With that argument, why have a wikipedia at all? why not just make pages that list external links?
At any rate, it's clear that your just going to continue to revert my edits, per your bizzare crusade to rid this site of information. So I have to tip my hat to you, you've succeeded in limiting the information and continuity of wikipedia. Congrats.

List of Philadelphia Phillies team records, a list you brought to FL status, excludes active players from all-time records. This is the formula I used while working on List of New York Yankees team records, but it's causing problems now. Mariano Rivera holds the saves record, and Derek Jeter just broke the hits record last night. They have both been included in the list by other editors, leaving me to wonder whether to change them or not. I took Mariano out a couple of times in the past, but I'm inclined to leave them as is now. It's just very confusing for knowledgable readers to not see those two as record-holders, and I understand why IPs and newer users have made changes. What do you think?

Hello - I reverted the edit you made to the So Taguchi article. You deleted the information regarding his addition to the Cubs roster as unreliably sourced, but the information was cited to a Chicago Tribune article/blog entry by Paul Sullivan, a cubs reporter for the Tribune. According to WP:V, newspaper blogs can be used as a reliable source as long as the writers are professional and the column is under editorial control. I would have left your revision if there was something contentious regarding the info added, however there's was nothing opinionated or critical in the new info that seemed to merit waiting until other sources release it.

Lets put it this way, take for instance the 1986 World Series between the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox. Did the New York Mets franchise dating back to 1962 win that particular World Series or did the New York Mets from that specific year win the World Series?

About your recent edits to remove my notation of the AL Central Playoff Game: it may be a reg season game, but it should be shown after the AL standings, even if it is shown reflected in them, because it precipitates from the regular season standings just as the postseason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mapperson ( talk • contribs) 13:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Heh, that source works (though is tenuous, IMO, it's just that one image description that says the guy is the last Athletic to get elected). How's this for a new project idea? The manager lists were the Improvement Drive subject at WP:MLB for a while, the list I proposed in that discussion seems reasonable, and we're already pretty close. Whaddya think? Also, we should get Muboshgu-can't-spell-his-name to FLC List of Major League Baseball awards as it's author, plus anyone else who did serious editing to it, once he can (given the current choke on FLCs to kill the backlog). We really are close on that topic. Staxringold talk contribs 17:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

You see, the templates are used together at two articles as standings, so it wouldn't necessarily be best to put the information in text for those. There is an alternative for the x-y-z approach that I've tried to implement, but I've been repeatedly reverted by an IP editor. - Rrius ( talk) 23:08, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Just letting you know, 2004 World Series, which you gave feedback on a while back, is currently a FAC. BUC ( talk) 21:45, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Should we use the y for divison and the w for the wildcard as in MLB.com does. There have been many people trying many things on the standings templates to identify the division and wildcard winners. What is the best way since now an editor is using yellow for the wildcard. Osi tadinma 00:35, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
About your recent edits to remove my notation of the AL Central Playoff Game: it may be a reg season game, but it should be shown after the AL standings, even if it is shown reflected in them, because it precipitates from the regular season standings just as the postseason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mapperson ( talk • contribs) 13:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Heh, that source works (though is tenuous, IMO, it's just that one image description that says the guy is the last Athletic to get elected). How's this for a new project idea? The manager lists were the Improvement Drive subject at WP:MLB for a while, the list I proposed in that discussion seems reasonable, and we're already pretty close. Whaddya think? Also, we should get Muboshgu-can't-spell-his-name to FLC List of Major League Baseball awards as it's author, plus anyone else who did serious editing to it, once he can (given the current choke on FLCs to kill the backlog). We really are close on that topic. Staxringold talk contribs 17:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
